Defining a model of CALL
Defining a model of CALL
Within CALL, English teachers can nail down students' learning characteristics, allowing them to develop concrete learning so they can experience their learning preferences. An interesting aside is that employing internet technology for what is amalgamated with Web 2.0 wherein lies wikis, blogs, podcasts, and more precisely an array of internet ever-changing facilities. Not only that but with internet resources, activities can be more adaptable and nurture the four skills of English.
Elements in the CALL Design Process
- Hardware
- Authoring packages
- Software
- The Internet and the E-mail
Hampel (2009) proposes that an effective CALL teacher training program should have the following components:
• mix of pre-service and in-service training to develop a range of skills and maintain and update them;
• tools training and technical support;
• hands-on pedagogical training; putting teachers in the role of students interacting with one another and
collaborating on a task;
• guidance with task design that creates the right conditions for collaboration and makes best use of the tools
employed;
• modelling what is expected of teachers (e.g. careful scaffolding of tasks, precise task instructions, moderation);
• activity banks with interactive tasks for tutor use;
• pedagogical support;
• self-reflection and feedback; and
• space for sharing experience(p.
- Mix of pre-service and in-service training to develop a range of skills tools trainig and technical support.
- Hands-on pedagogical training
- Create the best conditions for collaborations and calls on the tools such as careful scaffolding, precise task intruction, pedagogical support, self-reflection and self-support and space for sharing experience.
Teacher and pupil classroom behavior activities used in CALL
We can draw a distinction between tasks and exercise and within, we have some taxonomies that can help teachers learn about the locus software linked to grammar, vocabulary, fluency as well as receptive and productive abilities of English. Withal, it plays a pivotal role in learners' cognitive development.

Defining a CALL model, which can be implemented in all types of teachings and materials, such as Hardware, Authoring packages, Software, The internet, and E-mail, and that all educational institutions can use, will allow them to expand, to a greater extent, the use of technology as the main tool in the academic areas.
